Help build a skatepark to save the Youth of Bantry

Hello everyone, my name is Liam Miles and I am hoping to raise a bit of money to aid in the construction of a skatepark in Bantry. I would also like to mention that skateboarding has saved me in many ways. There have been times where I've struggled immensely with my mental health and I had no one to turn to apart from my skateboard, but that is my own story which I'd love to write about in my own time.

I am doing this because Bantry currently has little to no space where us youngins can hang out. There are so many of us just loitering around in alleys and car parks. It is extremely unfortunate and honestly a little depressing in my opinion. I am also trying to give us skaters a safe place to hang out because there have been times where we have been verbally abused, assaulted and forced to leave certain areas. It is genuinely not fair whatsoever. We just want to be able to have fun, develop our skills, grow together and be free from harassment. Skateboarding also has been known to have a positive impact on mental health and anti-social behaviour.

Here are a couple videos I'd love for you to see, ranking from shortest to longest:

(I'd highly recommend watching the longest one, but I appreciate you taking the time to watch any of them)

Skateboarding is something that can change your life completely and I know we'd all be a bit more inclined to give it a go if there was a safe place to get started.

Please give us a hand in bringing some life back to Bantry!

Thanks a lot if you've read this far, I've done my best to try and type this from the heart. :')
